Sámi Bracelet Making Class: Mixed Level
The dramatic landscape of northern Scandinavia is that of the midnight sun, northern lights, and the Sámi, a nomadic tribal group that follows the migration of the reindeer. Traditional Sámi jewelry incorporates elements of their northern landscape softened reindeer leather, braided pewter wire and sculpted antler. Please tell the person taking your registration if you are a beginner or advanced.
Beginning Bracelet:
Beginners will explore the traditional jewelry techniques of triple braiding, coiled pewter wire, and sewing the finished braid to a softened reindeer hide strip. A reindeer antler button finishes off the bracelet.
Advanced Bracelet:
Advanced students will create a wide multi-braided bracelet with a variety of braids and coils.
